And because the city was much more accessible, sales of Kaneohe real estate began to soar at a significant rate.

Kaneohe has over 11,000 housing units available, ranging from family homes to condominiums and townhouses as well. For around $250,000, you can purchase a small condominium unit, although small oceanfront mansions may set you back at a whopping $4 million!
